The probability that person A will pass Finite Mathematics is 7/8 and the probability that person B will pass is 4/7 . Assume the events are independent. Find the probability that person A will fail given that person B will pass.

0.1429 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The probability that person A will pass Finite Mathematics =

The probability that person A will pass Finite Mathematics =

The two events are independent.

We have to find the conditional probability  that person A will fail given that person B will pass.

Thus, 0.1429 is the probability that person A will fail given that person B will pass.

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
